Now, Bhadrasena was a huge follower of Lord Rama and used to glorify His name through various devotional songs. On one such day when he was singing a song of Rama, Hanumanji descended in the spot. He was so mesmerized by the song sung in the praise of Rama that he went on to take a reclining posture. After finishing his song and seeing Hanumanji in front of him, he was really surprised and spellbound. Then he ardently and most earnestly asked Hanumanji to stay there forever with the purpose of blessing Lord Rama’s and His devote and that was how the temple has come into being. It is indeed one of the most famous temples of Lord Hanuman. It really stands tall as one of the top temples in the area of its location.
